I've read this also, can't cite the references. However, you'd have to assume that receptors and pathways would resume normal function after a certain timeframe.
My husband was on Zoloft for over a year and was aghast at how it affected him. His T count was very low even a year after stopping. He maintains that things have not been the same since. He takes injections of testosterone so he's not exactly suffering, but my question remains. Cells/enzymes should regenerate to normal levels after a while. Why do we have this sneaking suspicion that these meds are permanently changing us?
> SSRIs decrease testosterone level, both in female and male body. After discontinuation of SSRIs, the T level never come back to its "normal" state. Liver enzymes and dopamine pathway (frontal cortex) are involved in this dysregulation; and probably a lot more things too.
